<BLOCKQUOTE>Not that you care what I think, Crabtree, but "simpering douche
bag," "lower order reeking weasel" and your other "fun" comments are beyond
the pale. I don't care who you are, how old you are, if you're religious or
not -- this doesn't edify anyone and it makes you look like a real
ass.<BR><BR>Which, I'm pretty sure, isn't your intent. If it is, though, you
can go to bed tonight knowing you succeeded. Still, I hope that when you
wake up tomorrow, you do so with resolve to try to engage with other people
on a slightly higher level than you do now. I know many of us would be
grateful.<BR><BR>keely</BLOCKQUOTE><?/bigger>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?bigger>Amen, Keely. Amen. You are
absolutely right.<BR><BR>Before I am doused with lighter fluid and set ablaze
for my seeming hypocrisy, I will freely admit that I am a noted fan of the
clever ad hominem. As a type of polemic, the ad hominem is often dismissed as
either fallacious or invalid; it is neither. It's simply not logical. It can,
however, be amusing. Unfortunately for Mr. Crabtree, his attempts along these
lines are not funny; they are an offense to God, nature, and Tallulah
Bankhead. (Now there's someone who knew how to do ad hominem.) <BR><BR>My
partner, Melynda, was recently the lucky recipient of the sobriquet "socialist
ass hat." Frankly, I'm jealous. What's an ass hat? I'm picturing a derriere
derby, a commie chapeau, a Fabian fedora. What I'm not picturing is Stinky
Weasletits, the man who can always find a parking spot downtown, having the
wit to come up with anything half so amusing as socialist ass
hat.<BR><BR>Time, Mr. Crabtree, to return to your day job. Take a key and lock
up your lips.<BR><BR>Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment<BR>www.joanopyr.com<?/bigger><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><BR><?/fontfamily><BR>
